PRO2 PRO2 PRO2 PRO2
Professional Dual Bus Control System
Crestron 2-Series Control Systems are the brain of a complete
integrated AV or automation solution. Every audio, video, and
environmental element of the home, boardroom, classroom, or command
center becomes integrated and accessible through the control system.
Crestron 2-Series control systems are unmatched for power, performance
and scalability, providing the ideal choice for today's demanding
control applications.
The flagship PRO2 is designed for medium to large-scale commercial and
residential control applications. Six built-in COM ports, eight
IR/Serial ports, eight I/O Versiports, eight isolated relays, and
optional Ethernet provide the essential interface for control of
numerous devices including video projectors, plasma displays,
switchers, DVD players, screens, lifts, and much more. The PRO2
features a built-in power supply, with power available to support
external Cresnet devices including touchpanels, keypads and expansion
modules.

At the heart of the PRO2 is the powerful 32-bit Freescale ColdFire®
processor. Crestron's exclusive enhanced real-time operating system
makes the PRO2 the fastest, most reliable control system available.
Dual Bus Architecture Dual Bus Architecture Dual Bus Architecture Dual Bus Architecture
The PRO2's unique dual-bus architecture affords ultra fast
communications. The 40Mbps Y-Bus provides a high-speed backplane for
IR, serial, and other integrated control ports. Additional control
ports and interfaces like MIDI and digital audio processing may be
added by installing up to three Y-Bus control cards. At a blazing
300Mbps, the Z-Bus supports Fast Ethernet with future support for
other emerging technologies.
Cresnet® Cresnet® Cresnet® Cresnet®
Cresnet is the communications backbone for many Crestron touchpanels,
keypads, lighting controls, and other devices. The Cresnet bus is a
simple, yet flexible 4-wire network that provides rock-solid
bidirectional communication and power for up to 252 Cresnet devices.
Cresnet Slave Mode Cresnet Slave Mode Cresnet Slave Mode Cresnet Slave Mode
Selectable Cresnet Slave Mode enables the PRO2 to be configured as a
Cresnet slave device, effectively transforming it into a Cresnet
expansion module. Such flexibility can offer a cost-effective solution
for system expansion, providing a host of additional control ports in
a single module.
Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet
Crestron pioneered the IP-based control system to harness the vast
possibilities of Ethernet and the Internet for remote control,
monitoring,
programming, and diagnostics, and the PRO2 is designed to deliver the
world's most advanced IP control solution. A choice of single or dual
port Ethernet cards enables a full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet connection
with built-in Web server and email client, and support for both static
and dynamic IP addressing.

Crestron's award-winning e-Control 2 XPanel solutions offer the most
flexible range of IP control possibilities available. Using a Windows®
computer or CE/PocketPC™ PDA device, e-Control 2 provides an amazing
control GUI that looks and behaves just like a Crestron Isys®
touchpanel.

RoomView™ RoomView™ RoomView™ RoomView™
Every Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control system works directly with
Crestron's exclusive RoomView Help Desk software for the industry's
most
comprehensive facility-wide asset management solution.
SNMP SNMP SNMP SNMP
Built-in SNMP support enables network management of Crestron control
systems using third-party SNMP software. As an alternate or supplement
to RoomView, SNMP allows full control and monitoring from the IT Help
Desk or NOC in a format that's familiar to IT personnel.
SSL SSL SSL SSL
All Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control systems support SSL (Secure
Sockets Layer), the industry standard for protecting sensitive network
communications.
NAT NAT NAT NAT
The PRO2's onboard NAT (Network Address Translator) acts as a firewall
and router to facilitate the configuration of a private control LAN
with a single-point connection to the client's LAN (Dual-port Ethernet
card required).
Memory Expansion Memory Expansion Memory Expansion Memory Expansion
A memory card slot accessible on the rear panel allows for easy
expansion of the PRO2's internal memory using any Type II Compact
Flash memory card up to 2 GB.
Front Panel Control Front Panel Control Front Panel Control Front Panel Control
The PRO2 includes a programmable front control panel with LCD display
and control port status indicators. The PRO2's front panel serves as a
ready user interface for system configuration and diagnostics, and
can also be custom programmed to enable menu-driven control
capability.
